Hi,

We want to be able to add a "Modify Cover Image" menu item as a dropdown menu item on the Jomsocial toolbar, but can't. It doesn't exist as a menu option and seems only to exist as a javascript call on the Profile page (the ''gear'' button - see attached).

How can we call this functionality from a menu item or a clickable hyperlink? It's very hard for users to find that menu item where it is.

I saw this has been asked before but there was no resolution: www.jomsocial.com/forum/modules-plugins-...e-profile-cover-item

Any idea how to do this?

HI, Louise.

Thank you for contacting us.
Simply - you can't :) This method of updating cover is intuitive (you change object where it is by clicking on it) and widely used in the web.
Having it iin a menu item means that you need another componet page to display it and change it. Why to multiply what already exist?
Okay, there is such a page for profile avatar, but it was created only as a backward compatibility for a non-browsers (or very old browsers). Now there is no need to do such a things.

Thanks for the update.

The reason I ask is that it is the number 1 problem reported by our users (i.e. "I've uploaded my avatar but I can't figure out how to change the cover image", etc) and it's taking up our time having to answer the same question again and again.

The other potential solution would be if that "gear" menu button could be added to the Hello Me module - that way the option would be much easier for users to find! Is that possible?

Many thanks.

HI, Louise.

No, I'm sorry. As I mentioned: you change object where it is by clicking on it. If icon appears on certain object it means you can change it. Having it on Hello me module may clash with main cover as both could be displayed in the same time.
